When a wrist-watch contains a large amount of hand-control device, especially can feel these shortcomings.For example, so-called " handwriting recognition " wrist-watch is exactly this situation, when user's finger covers " writing " symbol at table, and an alphanumeric symbol (such as a numeral) for example, " handwriting recognition " wrist-watch can take orders.In this case, wrist-watch must be equipped the dozens of control device, and each control device has a capacitive transducer that is placed on the table cap surface to make the position of pointing on the table exterior surface to be immediately recognized out.In this case, the consumption of each control device constitutes the key factor in the life-span of decision watch cell.
An object of the present invention is to provide and be equipped with the wrist-watch that overcomes the hand-control device of these shortcomings to small part.
Therefore, the wrist-watch that the present invention relates to contains: constitute the watchcase on ground, and table lid and at least one hand-control device that links to each other with treatment circuit, by the effect of described hand-control device, this treatment circuit is carried out the predetermined function of wrist-watch, and hand-control device comprises:

-be connected in a frequency detector between described converter and described treatment circuit, make the variation person's of being to use the finger of the oscillation frequency of described converter whether be placed on function on the described outside surface of table lid.
Therefore,, compare, can reduce the electric capacity of capacitive transducer with the electric capacity of employed sensor in the prior art in order to obtain the resolution of the hand-control device similar to the resolution of aforementioned Swiss Patent device.Like this, the electric charge of required placement is significantly much weak on the capacitive transducer, and the result is that the energy consumption of each user when carrying out an order is lower.Thereby the life-span of prolongation watch cell.
In addition, by determine the key element of the frequency of voltage-frequency converter with the stray capacitance conduct of capacitive transducer and wrist-watch, the present invention can produce a control signal, the detection of the logic state of this control signal is finished by digital device, and digital device is finished simpler than the mimic channel that uses in the prior art.
Other characteristics of the present invention and advantage will occur in the following description, and below narration provides in the mode of example and referring to accompanying drawing purely, wherein:
-Fig. 1 is the diagram cross sectional view according to the layout of capacitive transducer of the present invention;
-Fig. 2 is the block diagram according to the preferred embodiment of the hand-control device that uses with wrist-watch of the present invention;
-Fig. 3 is that a width of cloth shows that its intermediate-resolution is the function of the electric capacity of capacitive transducer according to wrist-watch of the present invention with according to the synoptic diagram of the resolution that wrist-watch reached of prior art.
Fig. 1 has shown the cross sectional view of the wrist-watch 1 that contains watchcase 2 and Biao Gai 3.Electronic circuit 4 is disposed in the watchcase 2.Conducting electrode 5(is preferably transparent) be disposed on the inside surface 6 of table lid of wrist-watch 1.Electrode 5 is linked electronic circuit 4 by lead 7.Battery or other power supply 8 are also placed in the watchcase 2 and are linked the positive pole of electronic circuit 4 by lead 9.
Electrode 5 constitutes a pole plate of capacitive transducers 20, when the wearer of wrist-watch 1 when realizing the predetermined command of wrist-watch, he touches the position that table cover 3 outside surface top electrode 5, at this moment another pole plate 21 of his finger 10 formation capacitive transducers 20.By contacted with wearer's wrist and link the watchcase 2 of the negative pole of circuit 4 and battery 8, wearer's finger 10 is linked the ground 11 of circuit, the i.e. remainder of wearer's body.
Fig. 2 is the block diagram of the wrist-watch 1 employed hand-control device among Fig. 1, and this hand-control device can produce the triggering of control signal with response capacitive transducer 20.This device 22 is linked frequency detector DF and treatment circuit CE successively, and CE realizes that in a well-known manner the user wishes the function of carrying out.
Control device 22 contains capacitive transducer 20, simultaneously as design result, and stray capacitance C pBe present between the watchcase 2 of electrode 5 and wrist-watch 1.Among Fig. 2, stray capacitance is by electric capacity 23 expressions.Capacitive transducer 20 and electric capacity 23 are parallel between the paraphase input of ground 11 and operational amplifier 24.
Hand-control device 22 also contains the resistance 25,26 and 27 between the output that is series at amplifier 24 and the ground 11.The input of the homophase of amplifier 24 is linked on resistance 26 and 27 s' the joint.In such structure, amplifier 24 and resistance 25,26 and 27 constitute a Schmidt trigger (Schmitt trigger), at its output terminal 28(is resistance 25 and 26 s' contact) signal with high logic level or low logic level, this signal are provided is to be added in the paraphase input of amplifier 24 and the function of the relevant voltage values in the homophase input.Two Zener diodes (Zener diode) 29 and 30 that connect relatively are connected between output 28 and the ground 11 end to end, so that the stable voltage that defines these logic levels respectively.
Hand-control device 22 also comprises the resistance 31 between the paraphase input that is connected in output 28 and amplifier 24.This resistance 31 and capacitive transducer 20 and electric capacity 23 are formed in the part of low-pass filter of the output terminal integralization voltage of Schmidt trigger together.The electromotive force of electric capacity 20 and 23 capacitor plate is added in the paraphase input of amplifier 24.As a result, hand-control device 22 plays the effect of voltage-frequency converter, in other words, plays the effect of voltage-controlled oscillator.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, voltage-frequency converter just is designed to the form of astable multivibrator, because it produces a periodic signal with two quasi-stationary states when free oscillation.Yet it is superior especially that it also can be designed to the layout shown in voltage-controlled oscillator Fig. 2 of any type of periodic signal generator or other form, because its simple structure and without any need for high-precision electronic component.
T oscillation period of control device 22 is provided by following relational expression:
T=2R 31C totLn(1+(2R 26)/R 27
Here, R 31, R 26And R 27Be respectively the numerical value of resistance 31,26 and 27, C TotBe the paraphase input of amplifier 24 and all total capacitances between the ground 11 and.Therefore as seen, the oscillation frequency of the output signal of hand-control device 22 and total capacitance C TotBe inversely proportional to, the electric capacity of capacitive transducer and stray capacitance have determined the oscillation frequency value of hand-control device 22 together.
Therefore, whether the variation person's of being to use of the oscillation frequency of voltage-frequency converter finger is put in the function on the outside surface of showing lid.If the wearer's of wrist-watch 1 finger 10 is not placed on table and covers on 3, the pole plate 21 of capacitive transducer 20 just is not present in the circuit shown in Figure 2 so.In this case, total capacitance C TotEqual the stray capacitance C between electrode 5 and the ground pThe oscillation frequency of the output signal of control device 22 just is inversely proportional to stray capacitance C p
On the other hand, when finger 10 is placed on table when cover on 3, constitute pole plate 21, capacitive transducer 21 just acts on control device 22 effectively.In this case, total capacitance C TotEqual capacitor C dAnd C pAnd inverse.So the oscillation frequency and the capacitor C of the output signal of control device 22 dAnd C pAnd be inversely proportional to.
Because needed signal packet is contained in the middle of its frequency rather than is contained in its absolute value of amplitude, so in order to extract this information, use the digital device of simple designs just much of that in the output signal.For example, this device can be finished by an impulse meter that is operated in a steady job cycle.Therefore, whether frequency and finger are placed on the outside surface of showing lid and can be directly represented by the umber of pulse of being received in this fixed cycle.Here describe this device no longer in more detail, this device is well-known to the professional of present technique.
Fig. 3 shows that to compare the present invention with resolution that is obtained in the prior art and energy consumption more superior.The horizontal ordinate of figure is marked with ratio C p/ C d, i.e. the stray capacitance of being set up between the fixed electorde 5 of capacitive transducer and the watchcase 2 and the capacitor C of capacitive transducer 20 dBetween relation.Being marked with the relative resolution of hand-control device at ordinate, in other words, is the low logic state of its output signal and the relation between the high logic state.
Curve 40 is illustrated in the relative deviation V between two voltages that the electricity comparer is detected when finger is put and take away among the above-mentioned patent CH 607 872 Pr/ V AbCapacitor C RefValue be taken as and equal capacitor C dValue.
Curve 40 shows big deviation of existence between the analog voltage level that device is formerly arranged, if ratio C p/ C dLess relatively, can obtain high resolution.But the capacitor C of capacitive transducer in this case, dMust be than stray capacitance C pMuch bigger, it will increase the energy consumption of hand-control device.Conversely, low relatively C p/ C dRatio reduces the resolution of hand-control device, but reaches lower energy consumption.Because capacitor C dLittler.
Curve 41 among Fig. 3 is still with ratio C p/ C dThe form of function represent finger as the wearer of wrist-watch 1 be placed on respectively table cover on 3 and not when described table covers in two frequency value F of output terminal 28 generations of control device 22 PrAnd F AbBetween difference.
It should be noted that,, recently draw them by minimum electric voltage frequency is set at counter in order to set up curve 40 and 41 s' effective comparison.The same with the situation among the present invention, be when finger is taken away, to produce maximum voltage value (scope of considering to above-mentioned Swiss Patent).
By curve plotting 40 and 41 s' contrast, to compare with the situation of prior art, the embodiments of the invention shown in Fig. 2 have been obtained significant raising on resolution.For example, in capacitor C dWith capacitor C pValue situation about equating under, resolution improves 25% than the precision of prior art.
In addition, for example in order to obtain 0.5% resolution, capacitor C in prior art dMust be at least than stray capacitance C pBig twice is compared with obtaining the same watch cell energy that resolution consumed among the present invention, and this means has sizable increase on the watch cell energy consumption.It should be noted that, can not deviate from framework of the present invention according to the present invention wrist-watch is carried out several modifications and/or improvement.Especially, the present invention also considers to discern hand-written wrist-watch, and such wrist-watch has the hand-control device of a plurality of Fig. 2 types, is showing covering position so that follow the tracks of wrist-watch wearer's finger, can be identified thereby make the wearer cover numeral or the letter write at table.In this case, the frequency detector DF of all hand-control devices can link the treatment circuit CE of wrist-watch, and the electrode 5 of their capacitive transducer covers the appropriate pattern (motif) of formation on 3 at table.
In another embodiment, hand-control device contains the capacitive transducer of several above-mentioned institutes define styles, and the common contact between second electric capacity of first pole plate and each capacitive transducer is all linked the input end of a traffic pilot.In this case, the input of control device frequency detector is linked in the output of traffic pilot.
Like this, as long as a voltage-frequency converter judges that with the determined frequency of the operation of traffic pilot the professional of each capacitive transducer present technique is appreciated that the capacitor C of capacitive transducer shown in Figure 2 dFinger with the user changes at the particular location that table covers.Therefore, when be placed on the finger that covers of table near or during away from first pole plate of capacitive transducer, the oscillator frequency of voltage-frequency converter changes gradually.Put or leave the table lid in order to detect, corresponding to responsive threshold values of the frequency change of a being given definition over against the finger of capacitive transducer.When voltage-frequency converter frequency change during greater than responsive threshold values, this changes processed circuit and detects.For each capacitive transducer that constitutes hand-control device, its responsive threshold values can be different, and all threshold values can be stored in the internal memory of treatment circuit.
Contain under the situation of several capacitive transducers at a hand-control device, the position of user's finger can be surveyed by the caused frequency change of each capacitive transducer by analyzing.Therefore, for from farthest capacitive transducer of finger, the caused frequency change in position of the finger that is covered by table will be more remarkable.Therefore, by the frequency change of capacitive transducer is done as a whole the analysis, can determine the position of pointing.
